There Is A Law About Gravity

 The price of madre cacao or the cacao which is the source of raw chocolate is pricey that everything about chocolates are expensive. Nothing so cheap anymore that's for sure. 

The price of gas went up again. Nothing's cheap anymore. Everything goes up. 

What goes up must come down. There is also a law of gravity you know.

Then here comes pop-up store SHEIN and when reporters interviewed people about SHEIN they were like commenting badly having negative feedback. Like ,why buy goods from a company that deals with forced labor. What? What is force labor? Good that they are employed. Better than no work. Or claim that they employ young kids to work. How young for a human to not work and be idle for the rest of their lives? What is forced labor in picking up cotton from the cotton farm? How hard that would be? How hard to sew garments when you are using modern sewing machines? My God, those idiots are so f' ignorant about work. You think those workers are children? Asian people looked younger & shorter even if they are already age 40. 

Well, only for seconds... and then out of curiosity they were inside the department store browsing and later on buying goods. Daming kaartehan! LOL

Negative publicity sometimes help, sometimes it destroys.

Nothing's wrong with inexpensive items to buy. BE CLEVER. BE SMART! Good that there are cheap items and goods to buy. Anything that you can afford you must take advantage of it while you have the time and chance.

Why buy expensive goods? You think that expensive items are all 100% of good quality or better than the others? Actually expensive goods or brand items are expensive because of the brand name. You are paying the "name" not the quality or the material. You are paying too much because of the famous endorsers of those goods who are already millionaires and billionaires! Millionaires and billionaires who are stingy, greedy and corrupt.

BE FRUGAL. Be economically wise in times of adversity.

The River Queen

 Return to movies once again...

RIVER QUEEN - 2005 Adventure/Action/Drama

Starring: Samantha Morton (Sarah O'brian), Kiefer Sutherland (Doyle), Cliff Curtis (Wiremu), Rawiri Pene (the boy who was abducted by his grandfather)

It was 1860 in New Zealand, the British was at war with the Maoris. Sarah & her family were Irish who settled at the bank of the river. Sarah got pregnant by a Maori native and they had a boy named Rawiri. While Sarah and her son was playing peek-a-boo her son accidentally got injured. Sarah quickly had her first aid kit ready to treat her son's wounded knee. They played again next after but then the son went missing and they cannot find him, unexpectedly they knew that her son was abducted by the grandfather but Sarah and her family don't know where to find their hideouts. Many years passed by the war between Great Britain and New Zealand heightened. Sarah and her family don't know what to do until she was abducted by Wiremu and was taken to his tribe in the very deep forest only to be asked to heal and cure the tribe's leader or chieftain of his influenza. The chieftain was cured and he was grateful of Sarah that he was hailed her as "Queenie." The chieftain's womanizing escapade didn't stop there he was notorious for such even during at the time of bloody war. Crazy man. 

By the way, Sarah found her long lost son Rawiri but her son already acquainted to the tribal life. Then the British soldiers, led by British officer and Doyle discovered the Maori's hideout and attacked them. Doyle knew that the boy is Sarah's son and didn't harm him, however Doyle got shot and Sarah had to help him and back to the British camp without her son. Unfortunately, Doyle didn't survive.

The boy was taken by the British soldiers. Wiremu had to plead for the boy's life. Anyway, long story short, The boy, Wiremu and Sarah escaped through the rushing cascading water and hid inside the cave. The British soldiers followed their trails however took more days to finally found them and shot Sarah. 

Did Sarah survive? You bet she is. It was happy ending that  Sarah, Wiremu and Rawiri moved to Ireland to have better life. 

Note: When I first saw this movie, wondering who is Samantha Morton who played Sarah. She's very familiar, saw her before don't really know for sure what movie I had seen her face. Thinking, thinking...then alas, Samantha Morton was the actress in THE WALKING DEAD zombie apocalyptic tv series who played the ruthless bald-headed woman Alpha. 

Cliff Curtis also played in the horror/apocalyptic zombie series FEAR THE WALKING DEAD.

Kiefer Sutherland is much bigger actor but his role and appearance on the screen was cut short. He is the talented actor behind movies such as FLATLINERS (with talented actress Julia Roberts), TO END ALL WARS, 24 (tv series), DESIGNATED SURVIVOR (tv series), etc.

SEVEN = 7 : Seven Deadly Sins

 WAR IN VIETNAM > The most controversial and the bloodiest war ever! 

Based from all the war movies I watched on our TV, the Vietnam war story is the bloodiest, gory and unforgettable. Que horror!

I had seen PLATOON, 

THE KILLING FIELDS

RESCUE DAWN

WE WERE SOLDIERS

HAMBURGER HILL

 GOOD MORNING VIETNAM

 APOCALYPSE NOW

BRIDGE ON RIVER KWAI

TO END ALL WARS

 FULL METAL JACKET, and recently 1968: TUNNEL RATS. 

In those two movies above there are survivors but in TUNNEL RATS nobody survives. This movie is brutally, wickedly produced. OMG! What kind of tunnel is that?

It all started with troops of American soldiers arrival in Vietnam to help with insurgency to help Vietnamese defeat Vietcongs (North Vietnamese - Communists). However, when the troops of soldiers camped inside the deepest of the forest unknowingly that underground is a mysterious tunnel where the Vietcongs live and hide. The soldiers found a hole and curiosity aside, one soldier volunteered to get in and find out for himself what's in there. He crawled in to the dark tunnel with a flashlight and a gun in his hand but the Vietcong had shot him. He died. The troops got mad and panic, two soldiers volunteered to get in and crawled to the dark tunnel carefully and almost got blown by grenade but was able to see the line that connects to the pin of the grenade. Good thinking for his good vision. They (2 soldiers) crawled to the end of the tunnel while there's another level down below that tunnel, the Vietcongs having a meeting. At the end of that tunnel another hole, up the ground, an opening and the soldier had his head up and out of the hole and too late to even say a word, a sharp bamboo spear already got her neck bluntly struck to his neck and the dead soldier got stuck in that opening. Then the female Vietcong cold blooded killer showed no remorse, dropped the grenade down the hole and the second soldier left behind in the tunnel was buried with the soil. More killings followed when the Vietcongs raid the American soldiers camp and deaths followed until a depressed, injured, hopeless American soldier ordered for air strike. Air strike arrived with a vengeance! Everybody got blown away. THE END.

Why Vietcongs too harsh and too barbaric? Vietcongs thought the Americans are invaders and they had witnessed some of them raping the Vietnamese women and they hanged one of their fellow Viets from a tree. That's what it is in the story. 

Conflict with the language. Who are Vietnamese & Vietcongs? They looked a-likes. There's no difference unless if the Vietcongs wear some kind of uniform. The problem with them is: turned out the majority of the Vietnamese liked Communism. They are in favor of the Communist Party movement. That it was a mistake for allied forces to be in there actually. Lives lost! So many Americans died and injured in that war. They should have known. WAR is something the country's leaders should think not twice but many times over as in 7x7x7x7x7x7x7

THE WAR IN VIETNAM was a very controversial war and intriguing that it opened so much political debate and had been in Psychology Textbook for many generations to study: Chapter 18: Social Influence (Just Following Orders in Vietnam) page 576-577 INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY by Atkinson, Atkinson & Hilgard.


Controversial Good Doctor Series & HOUSE

 Nobody likes a smart ass!

OK. That's true. But not too many people like stupid people especially those who are working for the Government or Health Care.

If you know what I mean. Just happened to watch the latest episode of THE GOOD DOCTOR. As usual that episode of  Charlie's curiosity led to Dr. Murphy informing her she should be a pathologist instead of being a surgeon. True! If you can see or feel anything microscopic without the need for microscope then so be it. I think hospitals and laboratories need humans with bionic eyes and bionic vision. It's the same thing with Nuclear Physics and Radiology, X Ray technicians should have better eyesight, the best vision that they could ever have. SEEING IS BELIEVING. It's their own findings that could determine the diagnosis of every ailments. Doctors and surgeons relied so much as in 100% from laboratory technicians, X-Ray tech radiologist and MRI scanner technician within their ability to SEE what is abnormal in those tissues, organs, and body fluids. Through their testing, through the help of their equipment we can find out or discover the diagnosis. Only if the test is accurate. Only if the equipment are state of the art, modern and not obsolete. Reason to believe... proof.

Ask Marie Curie how to properly use ultrasound machines and MRI scanner. You know how magnets attract? Can you scan magnets from a group of sand? Scanning those magnetic objects in one corner of space? You don't want your "magnets" inside your body taken out from you or you will lose your magnetism and you'll lose gravity. You will have to carry with you a lodestone , magnet or metals (steel or iron) in your legs and hips. If you lose your magnets on your hands you wont be able to use touchtone machines such as cellphones and other automated gadgets. You as a human being has "gravity" that can make you stand on the Earth's surface firmly or else you'll float like a balloon in space.

HOUSE MEDICAL SERIES. In that popular medical series on TV, Diagnostic Team led by the brilliant doctor/surgeon Dr. Gregory House (portrayed by talented Hugh Laurie) had to do the works of medical technologists & pathologists they almost worked on 24/hour basis to find what ails their patients. They don't rely on the works of X-Ray technician or MRI scanner radiologist, they do it handling those equipment and use modern technology seeing with their own eyes and vision. They don't allow other doctors in their team and nurses are not even allow in their "testing to know and find the cure and treatment."They became investigators.  If they have to dig graves they will do it. They even have to do the autopsy. HOUSE is similar to SEAL TEAM in their own extraordinary way. You wished in real life doctors have all the general knowledge about medicines. Specialty or specialization takes more than maybe another 4 years. * 8 years to be exact.

 

In reality, doctors are not allowed to do such thing because laboratory is separated from hospitals and the testing of such fluids: blood, urine, or stools take hours maybe days depend on location and how many patients in that hospital. Can they mix up one patient with another patient's test result? 

There are baby mixed up in the past. Like switched at birth. If that happens, there's a possibility that something out of the ordinary can happen. Yeah like in a horror movie.

Harmony & Finestkind

 Let's have movies once again. 

FINESTKIND.

 Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Jenna Ortega, Toby Wallace, Ben Foster, etc.

Charlie (Toby Wallace) & Tom (Ben Foster) are brothers with the same mother, different fathers. Charlie asked his brother Tom if he could work for him for the boat Harmony and go fishing. Tom was reluctant and told his brother to just finish his education first. For whatever reason Tom allowed his younger brother to go sail with him along the coast but unfortunately the boat caught on fire and capsized. It's ok, the captain and the crews survived. While celebrating being alive from such devastating event, Charlie's father arrived and was pissed of and yelled that Charlie was wasting time when he could study Law in Boston University. Everyone in that bar was surprised, including Mabel. By the way Mabel instantly charmed by Charlie and they started a relationship.

Tom confronted his boss that the reason for the boat's accident and capsized its because the owner didn't bother to fix that boat. Tom was fired from work, got depressed and in seclusion until Tom's dad Ray Eldridge (Tommy Lee Jones) came to approach him and told him that he could use his boat the Finestkind. At first, Tom doesn't like to work for his dad until the old man insist, begging with please. and the next day, Tom & the crews set sail to the coast. While Charlie was too late to be with them, Mabel had to drive her car in an over- speeding maneuver  to the dockyard wanting Charlie to catch up to the Finestkind.

Next scenes: It was a bountiful harvest of scallops! OMG! I like scallops!! There are thousands upon thousands of scallops. Hmm, that's how they gather scallops? Scallops are expensive.

The guys cleaned the scallops from its shiny shells and take the "pulp" they looked like white pulps or cocoon inside the scallop shells. They cleaned them thoroughly and then store them in white bags and kept in the cold storage with tons of shaved ice. They already had enough of scallops and yet Tom decided to cross line through the delight of his crews. Their boat Finestkind had crossed the Canadian coastline and they started harvesting more scallops. They were so happy, overjoyed and then when they checked the boat's radar... they started getting nervous, what more when their harvester machine got entangled from the bottom of the sea. They all panic and Tom had no other option but got his torchlight or welding torch and started firing the rope, more like cable (steel rope) attached to the scallop harvester trap until it has fallen to the ocean. 

You think they got away?

If you want to know what unfortunate events happened to them, you should watch it for yourself.

Tommy Lee Jones had become Clint Eastwood! 

Am I kidding? Find it out for yourself. Ha ha ha!

Level 4 & Level 5 ENGLISH PROFICIENCY

 LEVEL 5 ENGLISH PROFICIENCY required in applying for migration to Canada. Wow! Really? What is Level 5? 

I don't know what level of English proficiency I had but I have a degree in Economics. In Philippines the medium of communication is in English since Kindergarten to College. Filipinos are bilingual, can speak  Tagalog & English and some of us can understand and speak other dialects. 

The medium of instructions in all public and private schools are in English and we only speak Tagalog or Pilipino language when talking to our friends, classmates or schoolmates or at home or in class room Pilipino language subject. At work so many of us speak English simply because it's the norm or but because we talk about medical products. I worked in Pharmaceutical company before where almost everyone speak or communicate in English and all written reports must be in English. I like to impress our Pharma director with my written report. lol. WELL THAT WAS LONG TIME AGO.

Level 4 in University is about technical writing. Skills. You must have high quality of skills when it comes to using the best vocabulary ever. Lexicography. You must have knowledge of thesaurus not just Webster's vocabulary words. You should be very creative in the most intelligent way with a great sense of purpose. Being professional in technical way. What is this for what purpose is technical writing? Well if you want to be an engineer, economist, thesis writer/creator, scientist, researcher, writers, doctors, pharmacist, medical representative, health care workers, businessmen... you must be proficient at Level 4.

LEVEL 4  is somewhat a mathematical equation in calculus. So Level 5 is quite easier if you are talkative.

How great are you or how fluent are Canadians with the English language?

Canadians also have accent event though they speak the language because simply so many of Canadians were immigrants from other countries; Europe, Asians, Latin-American, etc. 

There are some Canadians who are still unable to speak English. What's the trouble? I don't know for sure. Maybe they don't like speaking or talking. Maybe they could write in English. I  hope so. I once met a beautiful Japanese girl who seldom talk but when she showed me her written essay, she's really that good in writing.

Level 5 could be proficiency with communication as you will need this in trading. How you talk with people. You as the "speaker"  must be a good communicator in the English language. If you want to be the leader, the manager of a certain business, you must be fluent in English level 5.  How you sell yourself and promote yourself and your business. You want to be trade union leader, lawyer, a politician, news reporters ... for the media? That could be it. Be talkative! lol

What is Level 6? Hmmm... your English vocabulary must be demonic. Profanity at its highest level, mostly F WORDS. lol j/k

What Is Limited & Unlimited Resources?

 Every province in Canada has its own financial burden and financial budget. Hmm...true or false?

Now that Quebec province is asking for its own immigration policy. Why is it? It has something to do with financial budget of course. A budget that is only accounted for limited population of people within its jurisdiction. Additional numbers of people could mean bigger budget that they don't have. Just like Newfoundland & Nova Scotia they too have limited financial budget. Every province in Canada has limited amount and supply of resources. 

British Columbia, are you not complaining of financial budget? How much is too much? Nothing is too much.  Quanta y quanto?

Hmm, the genius Albert Einstein questioned so many scientists about "quanta y quanto?"

OMG! Yup elimination of excess! What you don't have? Why add up when you cannot afford?

You are not God to take care of the whole Earth. Canadians you are not God to take care of the whole world's population. PM Trudeau you are not God to worry about every humans out of Canada. That is not your problem and not your duty or responsibility. Are you being pressured? Who are pressuring you to be responsible for other country's mistakes? Take care of your own people in Canada. CANADA IS YOUR COUNTRY! 

A rocket once again fired up in space and unfortunately the rocket went missing. Is there a fallout? Is the cloud bigger than the sky? How'd you wake up this morning?

Eh? Eh, eh, umbrella...eh umbrella... )))

Yeah, Canada is becoming an Umbrella Corporation.

You've got to be very careful now.

Dementia or Alzheimers?

 I didn't know that the talented actor Nicholas Cage had more than hundred movies wherein he was the lead actor. At least... when his colleagues had become supporting actors and or became director or producer of their own movies. 

Let's have a review of DYING OF THE LIGHT. 

Actor Nicholas Cage as CIA operative agent Evan Lake was welcomed at the CIA HQ for a memorable speech trying to hide his neurological ailment. 22 years ago he was tortured by a gang /terrorist leader Banir and left almost dying but Evan Lake survived. Evan continued to work for the CIA until the CIA officer advised him to quit, resign or "played dead" because of his ailment. However, Evan cannot take the whole process gently and got mad and he was taken by security by force out of the premises. 

Milton Schultz a budding young CIA on clerical services at the CIA HQ had information about Muhammad Banir that he was not dead and still at large informed this to Evan Lake. Their search had them journeyed to Romania to find out for themselves how Banir had contact with the Romanian doctor. Banir at least is purchasing the meds not stealing them.

Although Evan had bouts with his "dementia" once in a while, Milton his back-up buddy continued to serve him all through the search and act as his rescue. 

Evan Lake, found Banir who was almost paralyzed, helpless and without the medicine for his ailment he will die instantly and Evan Lake who was there to kill him changed his mind and just let it go. Pity and empathy, the value he set his mind to just let it go. However, when Evan Lake & Milton were at the poolside of the hotel, suddenly they were targeted and Milton and other innocent victims were shot down. Evan Lake fired back and shot the killers who were Banir's guards and followers. Evan wants vengeance and returned to Banir's house. And that's how it happened taking the life of that somebody who only wants to know if Evan Lake is Evan not somebody else. Maybe Evan Lake's the perfect match for Banir's.

LA BREA, THE WALKING DEAD: The Ones Who Live, etc.

 LA BREA the massive sinkhole that opened up in California has finally ended and it was happy ending. I don't know why it's already finished. It's nice to have a pre-historic television series just like that, an adventure fantasy, with little thrill to tickle your funny bones. 

It's ok, THE WALKING DEAD has returned with its sequel THE ONES WHO LIVE at AMC 6pm every Sunday.   First episode was the revelation of how Rick Grimes was rescued by Jadis after the explosion at the bridge and was taken by helicopter to the CRM Headquarters. How Rick Grimes tried so hard to escape to see his family even cut his hand but without success not able to escape and stayed at CRM until he was promoted and became one of the high ranking official and co-pilot flying the helicopter? Wow! 

Then second episode of THE ONES WHO LIVE, Michonne had battled with so many zombies, the hardship she encountered during the long journey to find her husband Rick Grimes, met new friends but succumbed to death from the toxic fumes sprayed at them by soldiers of the CRM. Michonne survived and her new friend but when another helicopter came the midget shoot them with rocket arrow and had damaged the helicopter and instantly killed Rick's co-pilot and the helicopter crashed. Michonne, one by one had to kill the CRM soldiers until she got hold of Rick's and saw that it was her husband behind the mask. 

Third episode of THE ONES WHO LIVE. Rick Grimes and Michonne had to lie and keep a secret to stay inside the CRM and survive. However, secret no more when Jadis came into the picture. Jadis always repeated her words to remind that she saved Rick and if he ever escaped from CRM she will kill everybody in his family. Rick asked Michonne to escape but he will stay inside CRM. One highly ambitious newly promoted  female officer knew that Michonne is a grave threat that she keeps watch on her. She asked Rick to take Michonne in another camp but Michonne got another dangerous plan. TO BE CONTINUED.

OTHER TV SERIES & SHOWS WORTH WATCHING: 

BIG BROTHER CANADA

SURVIVOR

AMERICAN IDOL 

TV SERIES I'm still hoping they return for this season such as: MIDWICH CUCKOOS, and IRREVERENT. Why? Because of its extraordinary stories that entertain and shocked senses.

Funny Or What?

 I haven't tell you what happened to all the TV Series I had watched recently. I was looking forward to post them all later when I'm not busy. I am not a couch potato just so you know that I have so many things to do at home. I have no time to get out and catch the cold, flu and covid or whatever toxic in the environment where we live, Earth or Mars? Don't know for sure if we are still on planet earth especially if you are paying for Carbon tax. Fortunately some humans will receive $1,800/each carbon tax rebate. Wow!!

You know... humans are made of carbon!! Duh. 

Paying for being a HUMAN.

Aliens do not have to pay. lol 

Wait, do the LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA PAYS FOR CARBON TAX? 

Nobody in other countries pay for carbon no matter how poor or wealthy they are. You know why? Maybe because they know what is carbon. You studied carbon since elementary schools.  Then in HS & College you still study carbon in subjects: Science, Earth Science, Physics, Astronomy. If you start paying for carbon next thing you know you'll be paying for OXYGEN. 

Why Canada has to pay for carbon tax? Are PST & GST not enough? Plus income tax. So that you can have rebates!! Duh! LOL. Lame answer. It's like pay for it so that excess of your money could help other countries during the war effort. ? Helping other people kill each other is great!! ???

You are paying carbon tax because you are too easy.

Let say you'll be sacrificed on top of the Aztec's pyramid...will you follow because you are too easy? Well, the whole society are followers even if its not morally upright or immorally acceptable but because the leader has too much power. Wrong power, wrong messiah!

Now that's real funny.

Apocalypto the Controversial Movie

 For quite sometime this movie APOCALYPTO was banned to never seen by movie viewers. I wonder why. So when it became available for prime viewing have the chance to see it for myself.

APOCALYPTO is an epic almost historical account of what happened to the indigenous people, the Mayans  in the Yucatan Peninsula. Wow! The cinematography is awesome.

Based from History, the Mayans had lost their civilization because of the arrival of the Spaniards as in they were brutally slaughtered as part of the Great Conquest. Not really!

In the movie APOCALYPTO, the Mayans had their own "civilization" and they have tribe leader and followers who were engaged in hunting and fishing as the source of their livelihood. They lived a very simple, ordinary lives. However, each tribe was being annihilated one by one by most powerful civilized Aztecs whose high priest believed in the higher god Kukulkan that human sacrifices must yield protection of their Aztec colony and will bring good harvest and bountiful crops and wealth for them. For human sacrifices they have to raid the tribes from the forest for they belong to the lowest society or the lowest pyramid rank. If you know what I mean. The women and children were spared from sacrificial lambs. The women were sold as slaves and children have to fend for their own survival. The rest of the male or female Mayans who can fight and stop the abduction survive but usually outnumbered by stronger but brutal enemies, they end up dead, bludgeoned, slaughtered, beheaded after they've been raped. Gory scenes! Almost like a horror story.

By the way this movie is subtitled. This movie could have win so many awards!!

I was waiting for the arrival of the Spaniards but they arrived too late!

Waiting for the turtles? Hey, waiting for the Mayans to populate the world? 

They are the Mexicans of today and look at Mexico now... populated by Americans!

APOCALYPTO the movie was written and directed by MEL GIBSON, the very talented actor, multi-awarded for movies such as BRAVEHEART, PASSION OF CHRIST, LETHAL WEAPONS, etc, etc.

Another NAZI Movie

 You wont believe there are so many Nazi movies available for viewing.

Let us have a review of ENEMY AT THE GATES. Starring Ed Harris, Jude Law, Rachael Weiz.

A Nazi officer (Ed Harris) traveled to Stalingrad to hunt and kill the famous Russian sniper (Jude law) who was hailed as hero by the Russian propaganda movement led by Joseph. In all the spying around Stalingrad, he had the help of a young boy Sacha (shoeshine boy or boots cleaner) who gives the Nazi officer some information about Russian sniper, the boy gets paid with bars of chocolates. While the Russian sniper had his soldiers supporting him in the war that includes his gf (Rachael Weiz) who is also a soldier. 

At first, the Nazi officer was enamored with the shoeshine boy Sacha until he got fed up with his double crossing him and revealing his whereabouts (railway station) that he hanged the boy for the Russians to see. What happened to Sacha was so tragic. He is a victim of circumstances and he doesn't really know what war is all about. He could saved his life if he just stayed with his mother and to never set his foot at the railway station. Despite of the unhappy circumstances, the Nazi officer was killed by the Russian sniper. It seemed that he was waiting for it to happen, he was waiting to be killed maybe he felt the remorse.

Anyway, did you watch the movie EMPIRE OF THE SUN? The war happened during World War II. The boy in that movie was also a shoeshine cleaner for the Japanese officer while they were inside the POW war camp. The privilege boy didn't die, survived until he was found by his mother. Christian Bale, the young boy in Empire Of the Sun. A very talented actor who was famous for the portrayal of Batman and the American PSYCHO.

Time Eternity For Those Who Wait



WAITING FOR ANYA - Starring Noah Schnapp (Jo), Angelica Huston (Widow Horcada), Frederick Schmidt (Benjamin), Thomas Krotschman (Nazi Corporal), Tomas Lemarquis (Lt. Nazi)

The Nazi had invaded France and had deported all The Jews out of France, however Benjamin and his daughter Anya were able to escape to Pyreenes.

Pyreenes - the small community known as the birthplace of the famous Saint Bernadette Soubiros was untouched by the Nazis.

Jo was a very young boy who pasture his sheep through the slopes of the mountain when suddenly a black grizzly bear appeared and had frightened him and his dog. Jo ran away and called the village farmers to help him. The farmers shot the black bear down and put on public display and hailed Jo as their hero. Days passed by while on pasture on mountain alps, the young boy discovered a stranger feeding a baby cub, the baby bear left behind by the black bear mother who was killed. The stranger and the boy made a pact not to tell his secret. However the boy followed the stranger up to his dwelling, to the widow's farm house to the barn where the stranger hid the baby black bear but he was surprised of what he had found, a female child instead. The widow let Jo promised not to reveal their secret and he became the runner for errands such as food and other groceries. 

Then suddenly the Nazi troops decided to build a camp in Pyreenes. They knew that there is smuggling going in around the area. It seemed that in this movie those Nazi troops are somewhat religious as they showed attending Catholic mass. 

Well, actually in History the NAZIs were actually Christians and Catholic. Hitler was actually a Christian. He believed in Jesus Christ and the Jews were persecuted because of what happened to Jesus at the hands of the Jews. Read HOLY BIBLE. But is that the reason why the NAZI hated the Jews? I don't know for sure. I think the NAZI were doing an experiment with human genome project and the Jews were included in that experiment. DNA testing on Jesus's descendants and ancestors. Finding the truth and finding the SUPERHUMAN. While in  HISTORY, the reason for World War I was because of TWO IDIOTS. World War II happened because of the continuation of WWI and the colonization of the Philippines by the Japanese. Read WORLD HISTORY books.

Anyway, the Nazi troops turned blind eyes of the smuggling of Jews (mostly children) from France to Spain in this small village of Pyreenes thanks in part for the shepherd boy Jo. 

It's a beautiful story full of remorse.

The Powers of the Illuminati

 I've been watching so much movies recently. It's great to have television connection with free movies.


 

So, let us start with DUNE the movie. The original movie DUNE starring Kyle Maclachlan and Sean Young was the original. You know what I like in this movie when I watched it in 1984 in the big cinema? When I first watched this sci-fiction movie it was such a hit because all the great actors compiled in this epic. Actors such as Max Von Sydow (played Jesus Christ in the  Greatest Movie Ever Told), Patrick Stewart (Star Trek), STING (the famous singer), Virginia Madsen as the beautiful Princess Irulan and other great actors. They all were beautiful. It was indeed stunning! All of the actors/actress have blue eyes illuminating the screen. The Shadow women and the Baron were scary. Their costumes or body suit almost fit every scenes for every action. It is colorful. The lines for every script or every dialogue delivered is perfectly mastered that including the baby Alicia had an outstanding performance. The performance is superb and believable of what would be the future. It is a futuristic story so it was indeed almost like it's real but what is unbelievable are the spaceships used in the original movie is unbelievable. That's it. I like the original version.

Days ago, I happened to watch the second version starring Timothee Chalumet in his portrayal as Paul Atriedes - the only son of Duke Leto & Lady Jessica who was from the Bene Gesserit- Shadow Women who are born with powers of telekinesis, ESP, and superpowers beyond wildest expectation. The Reverend Mother of the BG was disappointed that Lady Jessica had considered to have a baby boy instead. This latest version is about the early years of raising Paul who was still a young boy, no baby Alicia in sight. Not too many viewers can understand the real story of this movie. In the original version the story was narrated by the beautiful Irulan (sorry not McGovern but Virginia Madsen) who is the daughter of Emperor Shaddam IV.

It was year 10191. There are three Kingdoms with 3 territorial leaderships. Duke Leto had his kingdom away from the Emperor Shaddam's lair and far, far away from Arrakis or DUNE which is "owned" by the Fremen. 

Duke Leto received a gift from the Emperor (cousin of Duke Leto) that he can have Arrakis in his possession so his family decided to visit Arrakis and had seen what that kingdom of desert planet looks like, its people and the grave threat of the giant sandworms. The royal family stayed for the night. Lady Jessica felt something weird will happen and that premonition had indeed happened that they cannot control because that plan was initiated by the deceiver and the Harkonnen surprise attack succeeded that night, a poisoned needle  paralyzed the Duke Leto and was taken by assailant to the Emperor's kingdom. While Paul & Lady Jessica were taken by Harkonnen soldiers by ultra-modern helicopter. Helicopter that looked like a giant dragonfly. Lady Jessica used her power of pitch and because she and Paul also had self-defense skills they were able to free themselves from the enemies. From all the deceptions by the Emperor, that giving Arrakis or Dune was just the beginning of his manipulative intention and greedy ambition to control the whole world and universe. What the obese baron or emperor used for bathing is a pool of bloody red warm BLOOD.

What is DUNE known for anyway? It is the only source of the spice melange which is known for to extend life and makes travel easier and convenient. The spice can make you stronger and powerful. What the giant sandworms purpose in the Arrakis? That you can find out in the second version or Part 2 of DUNE the movie.

And maybe the Part 2 can open the story of Baby Alicia with superpowers and the presence of Princess Irulan. Maybe Chani (Zandaya) has more screen presence instead of being in those dreams only. I hope the actors and actresses wear colorful costumes instead of boring beige, brown or black. Dull colors are so boring. In the truest sense: Black, brown, white are not considered colors. Add red colors and blue colors. Peach, mint, aqua, orange... green.





What If...

 Well instead of donating billions of dollars, Elon Musk sued AI CHATGPT maker. lol.  Sam Altman the maker of AI ChatGPT? I first thought that's the project of  Old Man Minsky!

Really?! I don't know why and what is he afraid of ChatGPT or the Artificial Intelligence.

The only thing I could think of with AI is what if it becomes like the movie version wherein the robot AI had too many clones of the same thing. What if Elon Musk was cloned or Bill Gates and so is Mark Zuckerberg. Yeah people, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. Ha ha ha! Do they have Elon Musk's face mask? The voice is your password.

What if it is not AI but impersonators. Look at what happened to Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. With hundreds of impersonators their fame and popularity had been lowered and somehow some people don't really know who the real one or the original. Because what if the impersonator is better than the original. You don't like being copied for sure, for security reason especially if you are a millionaire or billionaire.
